Structurally, the blimps are the same A60+ model. All of the blimps are permanently decaled with the corporate logo "MetLife" on either side.

"Snoopy Two" was launched from Hillsboro, Oregon in October, 1993. The primary difference between the two blimps is their geographic regions of operation; "Snoopy Two" spends the winter months on the West Coast touring California, Nevada and Arizona.Chief Pilot is Charles Smith, "Snoopy J" was launched in Japan in November of 2010.

In a typical year, "Snoopy One" and "Snoopy Two" cover approximately 70 events for a variety of networks including NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN and TGC. The blimps can be seen capturing shots of events ranging from the US Open and PGA Championship, to NFL football games across the country
